    There are some who think it's Kait's joke on the world, some kind of Dadaist art statement :-)

    They mention being at the CES 2004 and 2005. Can anyone verify that?

    Fools and Money...

    Sadly these folks are not an "art project". I have seen their products at various Hifi shows (e.g. RMAF, CES, HE2006).

    Even worse, I've been in demo rooms at these shows where this "tweaks" were in use by otherwise normal appearing humans. I could not restrain myself from gently inquiring of the exhibitor just what these items were doing...and laughing internally at the alleged explanations of "air", "flow" and rebalancing of the cosmic harmonics.

    No No No No

    I refuse to believe that these people are serious. If they actually turn up at shows with this stuff they must be just taking the joke to another level.

    In the link to the alarm clock, I think the "PWB" in PWB Electronics is Peter Belt.

    Is it really just 'business'? Isn't it at least against some advertising rules, or maybe even illegal, to make false claims to sell products. Tricky area, I know, since some buyers might well be convinced that these things make a difference, so in a roundabout way they therefore do, but if the seller really is playing a joke on the world, isn't he on dodgy ground?

    Sadly, all of this talks about Us and the sick and abusive industry we support. If this direct attack on the stupidity of many "audiophiles" can't detract people from this forum to stop believing in 50 dollar ethernet cables, what can we expect about the future of this hobby? more 15,000 Euro interconnects? more magic pebbles? and all for the gullibility of the demanding consumer. This type of websites should awaken the stupid and create an awareness about the wrong turn of the industry, if this doesnt do it, what will?

    We are all victims in one way or another, its just the extent of endless dissatisfaction that is growing; thanks to the massive marketing strategies, this form of mind control will for sure perpetuate...
